And saved myself about $100. In my effort to assemble the heater box and all the components, I realized that the motor wasn't in the greatest shape. I hooked it up to my other cars battery and it was dead, nada nuttin'. Weighing my options(throw it out/buy new one) I took it to the garage. I completely took it apart, cleaned it (thank goodness for Dremmels) put it back together and hooked it up to the cables again and it spun like a top. Ka-ching!!! right back in my pocket. Felt good too.

The best part of this is that I got a lot more confidence working with electrical parts. Engines and greasy stuff have always been easy, well maybe not easy, but I've always had a knack for them. Grease monkey Yes, Spark monkey, OK I'll try
